FAQ

SaberMod is a AOSP based ROM with some extra features added in and mostly from CyanogenMod. SaberMod started out pure AOSP when android 4.2.1 launched. Originally it was pure AOSP with a few extra features I ported over from CyanogeMod and linaro optimizations. Then I rebased everything off of rasbeanjelly because I liked many features found in rasbean. Since then I've modified a lot of the code so not much of it is rasbeanjelly based anymore. But you will still find some commonly used features found in rasbeanjelly. SaberMod is not a rasbeanjelly or CM clone, or KANG. Custom kernels are included for certain devices when available. These are personal builds we make for ourselves and originally became very popular in the nexus 7 forums. Features are very rarely added, and are built to SaberMod's team members liking. Currently there are two members of SaberMod working on this project. Myself and [MENTION=4617326]jarjar124[/MENTION] . Please understand our time is limited and we are only two people who have lives, and do not have 25-50 members like CyanogenMod to add things. And our goal is not to add a bunch of features that bloat the system of the ROM.

Q "Does this ROM have such and such feature?

A "Did you read the first post? Most if not all features are listed in the OP. If you find a feature not listed, tell us and we will add it. Yes, sometimes we miss things."

Q "Very nice ROM, but... Can you add such and such feature?"

A "Depends on a few things, if we think it is a feature we want in the ROM and how easy it is to implement into SaberMod. If you get ignored it's because we're undecided, nothing personal."

Q "I keep asking over and over again if such and such feature can be added but my questions keep getting ignored, why?"

A "Probably because your asking a question that's already been answered, and a simple thread search can answer for you. Either that or we are undecided about it."

Q "I reported a bug but my post gets ignored, why?"

A "Either it's not a bug or you provided no information such as a logcat that has the correct information in it needed to find a possible fix or solution."

Q "I have some problems but I'm using another kernel. Can you fix?"

A "If you think it's a ROM issue state so. If your not sure post a logcat. Don't post last_kmsg for other kernels, cause we can't help"

Q "I think I'm having a problem with the kernel, and I need a fix ASAP!"

A "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg or it never happened and your post will be ignored."

Q "Can I build SaberMod from source code on Linux?"

A "Yes, it is encouraged, machine setup instructions are as follows. SaberMod builds with the latest version of Ubuntu 13.04 and java 7 or java 6 (either one)

Set up your build envirnoment: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35338419&postcount=1

Skip the part that installs java 6 if you want to install java 7 instead.

If you want to install java 7 go here: http://openjdk.java.net/install/

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jdk

Downloading the source

mkdir -p ~/android/SaberMod && cd ~/android/SaberMod;
repo init -u https://github.com/SaberMod/android.git -b sm-jb-mr1
repo sync
bash sm-mako

Follow the script instructions for building and make your selections on how you want to build your ROM.

Q "What if I have trouble building or I'm confused on the instructions, can I post questions in this thread for help?"

A "Yes it's encouraged and discussing it might help others."

Q "There's some things in the ROMs that are not in my language, can you please translate?"

A "We can not translate currently, but if you want to help translate parts of the ROM that are only in English contact us and we will try."
